DICE has confirmed that their upcoming DLC map pack - Back to Karkand - will be arriving on the PS3 first on December 6th, a day earlier than we previously reported from the PSN leak, however if you take timezones into account we were probably right.

EA has today revealed it's latest Battlefield 3 sales figures and they're not all that bad.EA's chief financial officer confirmed that the latest title in the franchise has now shipped over 12 millions units since launch and sold over 8 million copys.The game has managed all this despite a country wide ban in Iran due to the portrayal of said country in the video game."In that Battlefield 3 is not available for purchase in Iran, we can only hope the ban will help prevent pirated copies reaching consumers there," EA said.
